[HTC One S] :
After s-off the CID changing is easy and S-off disables signature checking so you can extract the rom.zip(ruu) and edit the android-info and change the mid in that text file save it and then add it to some.zip and flash it as RUU , it will work ! But remember you will need s-off, and you will get OTAs , Donot relock the bootloader ! the bootloader should be saying S-off and unlocked .
[HTC One S] :
I recommend installing the RUU over the OTA , I have not tried the ota as my device was bricked by it earlier , the day i got it back from JTAG Repair I s-offed it and changed CID to htc__001 and flashed JB RUU it went smooth !

what error do you get ?
[HTC One S] cyriantherockstar:
i get the image error :(
[HTC One S] :
Re: [Guide] unbranding HTC ONE S S4

Flash the Rom.zip from the ruu via fastboot flash zip Rom.zip after rebooting into ruu mode by fastboot oem rebootRUU , then post the exact error ! Try the 2.31 ruu if it works then just after the 2.31 ruu run the jb ruu
[HTC One S] cyriantherockstar:
i also tried to extract the rom.zip from the jb ruu, but i cant open it, winrar is saying it's corrupt so i cant edit the android-info :(
[HTC One S] :
Its encrypted !:rolleyes:
[HTC One S] dieseldane86:
Extract the .exe file on my pc? I don't see android-info in the files inside it, what should I be looking for and what should I edit it with?

Or do you mean install it onto the phone and then change something?

Re: [Guide] unbranding HTC ONE S S4

Hey can I ask if it is working for one s s3 variants? Because I really need to s-off
[HTC One S] :
Re: [Guide] unbranding HTC ONE S S4

When you run the .exe file in the temporary folder you will see a file Rom.zip that's it copy and paste that to some location and inside that there is the android-info
[HTC One S] dieseldane86:
Thanks for the response. :)

Sorry, but where is this temporary folder created, and when? I was able to s-off without any problems at all. I tried to run the exe, but did not notice any point after the exe linked to in the OP is started, any temp folder, When I tried to run it, I got error 158. What am I missing here?
[HTC One S] chota_shivaji:
- I followed all the steps correctly as follows: stock tmous 2.35 -> unlock -> flash twrp -> super-cid -> soff -> new cid = HTC__001.

- Then I downloaded the RUU.exe for latest EU JB update. On running it, I get MID error (as discussed in this thread).

- Then I extracted the rom.zip from RUU.exe. But I am unable to open it as winrar/7zip says its corrupted (as expected since its encrypted).

- I have rom.zip from RUU.exe for EU 2.31 build as well.

On searching further, I found below steps to flash rom.zip from RUU via fastboot:

boot into bootlaoder and enter fastboot usb mode

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

I want to know if this will work for rom.zip of latest EU JB RUU (since it is encrypted) Or do I need to flash 2.31 rom.zip using above method and then receive normal OTA?

Can somebody please confirm?
[HTC One S] :
It will work ! Just edit the android-info of the 2.31.zip ! no OTA will not work as the mid will be different in that hence it will not flash !
[HTC One S] thanhthao2002:
i tried all ways, but i can not flash jb to my device. it sitll showed image erro. my device is S4 tmobile. @ aditya, what is your device brand?
[HTC One S] :
Re: [Guide] unbranding HTC ONE S S4

It is a pj40110 tmobile USA ! I did some dangerous things while soffing and got stucked with a 2.15 locked hboot then tried a full power down and unlocked bootloader , soffed and then flashed the zip file used to s-off , it contains 2.15 hboot and other things!
[HTC One S] dieseldane86:
Ok, I was looking at trying this again, and I have found the temp folder where the RUU exe extracts the files to. I have tried editing the android-info.txt that is in this folder, but that didn't work. So I am to guess the file that needs to be edited is inside the rom.zip?

aditya, what program did you use, or how did you edit the android-info to get this to flash on a PJ4011000 device?
[HTC One S] 2rz_taco_sr5:
So let me see if I understand. We know the temporary file Rom.zip is encrypted so we can't just edit the text file because it will not save. BUT your saying it does not need to be encrypted with s-off?

So did you just unzip the files to a seporate location and THEN change the text file? And then just re-zip the files like a normal zip file? Then replace the encrypted Rom.zip with the edited Rom.zip file that is not encrypted?
[HTC One S] :
Re: [Guide] unbranding HTC ONE S S4

With s-off the modifications made to android-info.txt will not give a signature error it will flash but without soff the signature error will be there as changing anything inside the ruu changes/breakes the signature
[HTC One S] 2rz_taco_sr5:
Ok I understand that but were you able to edit the original Rom.zip or did you have to create a new rom.zip after the edit? I'm using winrar but when I edit the text file and hit save it just says corrupted archive and the text doesn't save...

I can unzip the files in Rom.zip but I'm not sure if everything is there due to the encryption but then I can change the text and it will save but I still can't put it into the encrypted rom.zip all I can do is create a new rom.zip with all the files I unzipped. is that what you did?

If we can figure out exactly how you did this I'm sure a lot of branded users would be grateful! maybe a short video showing the steps would be easier than trying to explain? Just an idea.
[HTC One S] dieseldane86:
I tried just editing the android-info.txt within the zip, without actually unzipping it, just veiwing it's contents. It apears to save, but still does not flash, stating incorrect model id.

When I was originally browsing around on my computer trying to find the rom.zip, I noticed a folder I beleive is called ruu logs (can't remember for sure, that is on my home pc and I am at work now) and withing those logs it says that the rom.zip is encrypted, and instead of looking at the android_info.txt it looks at the rom.zip header info.

So, I think we either need to learn to change the header info, or decrypt the rom, change android-info and then flash the unencrypted rom, would either of those work?
[HTC One S] Poyesh.Gsm:
I tested this method

But the program does not communicate with the phone

I tested with different methods, but did not succeed
[HTC One S] taus90:
useless

does this method even work, i mean changing CID is fine. but RUU method is not working, Model ID is the culprit here.. plus extraction or editing of Android-info ends up as corrupt. I just cant see any other way to change model id unless if someone edits it and puts it up here for download
[HTC One S] jamus28:
Yup I can't get past the android-info editing stage. Winrar can open the zip, but I can't edit or extract it properly.
[HTC One S] a_person:
This thread helped me get the RUU working, in particular post #6. I don't know if it applies to your specific circumstances though.
[HTC One S] Ivanovic:
Yup the RUUVEAL tool is being available for a certain amount of time.Just decrypt the rom, change mid and flash RUU :)

On the road using my HOX
[HTC One S] jamus28:
Well kids, I figured it all out. I needed to RUU again after a flash marathon busted my headset detection. I figured I would try the JB base.

-I compiled RUUveal in Cygwin, a windows linux emulator. (those devs think they're soo cool and exclusive)

I needed to select the GCC, make, and mcrypt developer packages during install

-I decrypted the rom.zip from the RUU

-edited the android-info modelid to PJ4011000

-fastboot flashed the recovery from inside

-fastboot oem relock

-fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

(twice since the hboot change causes a remote 90 error)

Shazam.

Not bad for someone who's never used linux.
[HTC One S] taus90:

Hey buddy is there any way to have JB OTA on my T-Mob HTC One S safely. Without bricking it ?

I've heard of a procedure to

1> Super CID

2>Install ICS

3>Change CID to HTC_001

4>Install ICS Again

5>Run JB update.

Can anyone conform this please ?

There is a thread full of Bricked T-Mob One S devices. Is anyone ever succeded to update to Jelly Bean in his/her T-Mob One s ? Please please please help me.

I've done SuperCID but haven't really tried anything.

I've S-On. and ROM Version 2.35

Sorry I've posted this one on anther Thread and also PMed to Aditya. I'm just desperate to know.
[HTC One S] aman0406:

1. download JB316_WWE_ville_decrypt_rom.zip

2.download 3.16.401.8 ruu http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2159416

3.rename the JB316_WWE_ville_decrypt_rom.zip to rom.zip

4.change your cid to HTC__001

5.run ruu 3.16.401.8 DO NOT INSTALL(LET THE SETUP BEGIN)

6.replace the rom.zip with moded rom.zip .file path C:\Users\your computer name\AppData\Local\Temp\

7then install ruu

you have to be s-off for this....

do it at your own risk

OTA afterwards !

Many many thanks for the help mate. Just one question.

HTC has conformed of Sense 5.0 on One S. So will I be able to do OTA afterwards installing the JB above ?
[HTC One S] aman0406:
no way to change model id

Well there goes my dropbox. Can someone with a developer account at one of the the usual android sites upload?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
They said "upgrades", never specifically said Sense 5
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
The linked article above clearly states sense 5.

HTC_One_S | S-OFF | DeviantXone_2.0 | Twisted_III
[HTC One S] usaff22:
The article has to get its source from somewhere, and in this case it is the same facebook quote I have seen previously. It doesn't specifically state Sense 5, just an upgrade.
[HTC One S] cyriantherockstar:
yes pls??

[HTC One S] jamus28:
unzip the tar gz into a folder. put the rom.zip in that folder too

navigate to that folder in cygwin

type:

./configure

make

*now it's ready

./ruuveal ville rom.zip romdecrypt.zip

*done

if you get errors you probably need to install more packages.
[HTC One S] XxPG_PHANTOMxX:
Urm , if you dont mind , where i can get the extra packages i needed ?
[HTC One S] jamus28:
The cygwin installer. The one you used to install cygwin. Select the packages i listed.

Some updates

Hi All,

I believe I was able to completely debrand my T-Mobile HTC One S. By debrand, I mean the following - cid = HTC__001 and mid = PJ4010000. After this I was able to officially download the HTC EU 3.16.401.9 (which has fix for the heart-bleed bug) while I was on 3.16.401.8.

The steps are as below -

0. These steps are verified for TMOBILE branded HTC One S. If you do not have that, stop right there :p.

1. Ensure SOFF (check the facepalm thread here)

2. Change CID to HTC__001

3. Ensure ROOT permissions are available (i.e. you are using a rooted ROM)

4. Follow the steps in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756192 to change MID. It involves changing some text in partition mmcblk0p6.

5. Issue below command to change MID in more place in mmcblk0p6 -

echo -ne '\x50\x00\x4A\x00\x34\x00\x30\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=1 seek=16384

NOTE: Issue this command correctly. I am not responsible if you brick your HTC One S

6. Boot into fastboot mode and check your MID. It should be PJ4010000.

As usual, Please understand what you are doing first and then issue commands. I cannot be held responsible if your phone is bricked.

I hope this is helpful for someone here. If yes, please hit the thanks button :cool:.

I did think of flashing the ROM & kernel from the 1.14 RUU to see if that made any difference in case it's not actually the radio code but I've been holding out for some sign of a 4.2 update from HTC :rolleyes: in the hope the might accidentally fix it.

Find a custom rom based on the same base with the radio you want, grab the radio and .ril, pop them into an update .zip and flash them :p

I just bought my note 2 and don't want to root or anything like my Gnex. It comes with 4.1.1 out the box, does anyone know how I can force upgrade the OS without rooting or having to wait for the carrier. Otherwise can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dan_tm:
First of all, you have to root and install a custom ROM if you want something other than what you have. Without root, you're waiting for your carrier.

What upgrade are you looking for? The only one Samsung has done for the phone is 4.1.2, which you won't find to be a jaw dropping upgrade. 4.2 is available on a number of ROMs, but without Touchwiz.

Somebody help Plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!

Is there any chance of getting my phone normal???????

As im not an expert!

Thanx 4 ur suggestion!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Sinds its not booting anymore a ruu might come in handy !

Put the phone in the bootloader (hold power button + volume down button together until you are in the bootloader, do not let go before that !)

Then do the fastboot commands

Fastboot getvar version-main

Fastboot oem readcid

:D

Thanx dear but i've alredy tried ruu.

It get started but then shows that battery is less than 30%

But actually i charged the battery for more than 2 hrs.

My CID no is HTC_038.

Plz help me!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Then give the version-main number
[HTC One X] bhs2012:
Version -main

Version-main: 2.17.720.2
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Then you can do it with a nandroid backup !

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

Go there and download the matching nandroid of your cid and main. I just checked, its there !

You need to flash the boot.img from the nandroid and unpack the nandroid to the phones sdcard then perform a full wipe and restore the nandroid.

Last step is to flash back the stock 2.17 recovery.

If the battery is above 10% you can still flash !

Nd please read the OP carefully, it contains good info :thumbup:

recovery is also not working

[HTC One X] maxilick:
So you can get into bootloader?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Oke try this

Fastboot erase recovery

Fastboot erase cache

then reflash the recovery

Then enter the recovery again.

[HTC One X] iang265:
Hi

I hope you don't mind me piggy backing on the end of your post but I've found myself in a very similar situation.

What I've done so far:

I was on TMOB-005 so I downloaded the relevant file from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957376)

Re-Locked bootloader

Flashed new HBOOT (Now showing as 1.39.0000)

Unlocked bootloader

Flashed CWM (Everything appeared to go fine)

When I enter recovery from HBOOT my handset just hangs on the white HTC, quietly brilliant screen.

When I do "Fastboot getvar version-main ", the result is: 3.16.110.4

I also tried to do the fastboot erase recovery command but i got some "access not allowed" type message.

I've repeated the above steps a couple of times but no joy. Any helpers?

Many thanks
